Sculpture

'Big Nanty' sits outside Glasfryn - 'The Dragon's Lair', in Ponterwyd, on her 'throne', waiting to offer friendly greetings to all who care to stop, and to grant a wish to those who believe in the magic of Dragons.

She watches over a whole family of 'Nanty' dragons whose inspiration came from the finding of a 70 million year old unclassified 'fossil' of the wingtip of a prehistoric 'dragon' whose domain was high in the Plynlimon Mountains near to where she lives. '

 

Nanty was the first Dragon I sculpted. Here he is pictured at the Nant-y-Moch reservoir.

 

Approx. 400mm high.
